- 1.68 acres
Description
Location
The Property is located in the town of Alcester. The A435 directly abuts the western edge of the settlement providing access north to Redditch, and thereafter to Birmingham, and south to Evesham and thereafter to Cheltenham and the Cotswolds.
There are several bus stops in the town serving the surrounding area.
The Property is in a residential location in the centre of the town, with residential properties on three sides and Alcester Tennis Club to the south.
Description
The Property is located in the centre of Alcester, comprising 0.68 hectares (1.68 acres) of relatively flat land which includes a single-storey school building of red brick construction under a mix of pitched clay tiled and flat metal roofs measuring approximately 978 sq m / 10,527 sq ft (Gross Internal Area).
The Property has been vacant for several years and is in a state of significant disrepair. It is understood that the building also contains asbestos that would require remediation, and potential demolition. Externally the Property benefits from generous tarmacadam-surfaced parking provision, and the site boundary is a mix of wooden and metal fencing. Access is via two double gateways off Moorfield Road.
The Property is within Flood Zone 3, with any development proposals of the site to be considered with this constraint in mind.
Services
We understand that services are available in the vicinity of the Property. Purchasers are to undertake their own investigations in this regard. No tests have been carried out to verify the information
Planning
The Property lies within the planning jurisdiction of Stratford on Avon District Council where planning decisions are guided by the Stratford upon Avon District Core Strategy 2016, 'running' from 2011-2031, as well as the Alcester Neighbourhood Development Plan 2021 'running' across the same period.
The Property is within a Conservation Area. The Stratford on Avon District Core Strategy 2016, states that infill and redevelopment proposals on such land should be sensitive to the character of the area.
The Property was put forward in the call for sites exercise for the South Warwickshire Local Plan which is currently being prepared. The Property was however 'sifted out' at the Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) Part A due to scoring a red RAG rating reflecting an absolute constraint that cannot be mitigated due to a high risk of flooding (Flood Zone 2/3).
Legal Costs
Each party is to incur their own legal fees in relation to this transaction.
Viewing
Internal viewing of the building is not possible due to the presence of asbestos (photographs are provided in the Data Room). Viewing days will be held throughout the marketing period and are strictly by appointment with Bruton Knowles
